Many countries in NATO, which we are expected to defend, are not only short of their current commitment of 2% (which is low), but are also delinquent for many years in payments that have not been made. Will they reimburse the U.S.?

The European Union makes it impossible for our farmers and workers and companies to do business in Europe (U.S. has a $151 Billion trade deficit), and then they want us to happily defend them through NATO, and nicely pay for it. Just doesn’t work!

Kudos to Trump for stepping forward with a fortitude that surpasses ALL Presidents before him in his efforts to MakeAmericaGreatAgain.

Previous administrations have cowered and cowtowed…and yes, even bowed, to foreign interests which has unnecessarily emptied our pockets and increased our national debt with policies that have done little else than adding the foreign countries/interests/allegiances to our already overburdened ‘welfare recipients’ roll. All countries should pay their fair share….and until they do ALL other US contributions to their welfare should be redirected, restricted, or eliminated. ANY and ALL other aid in the future should be reviewed by an oversight committee embedded within their borders to insure the money is spent as directed for THE COUNTRY’S welfare….and not to simply make their leaders wealthier and leaving their people still the poorer.

Go Trump, for telling it like it is. The idiots in Germany import natural gas from Russia, so they are dependent on the Russians for energy and heating their homes and yet they want the United States to protect them from the Russians and the Germans do not want to pay their fair share for NATO. God Bless you President Trump for having the guts to speak out. Secondly, kudos to Poland and Estonia for paying their fair share for NATO.

President Trump asked the hard questions, then makes easy decisions based on the responses. Our “allies” don’t like that. They prefer the US continue to pay, and get chumped. I thank God every day that Donald Trump is our president instead of hell’liary clintoon.

Interesting that the tariffs imposed by the EU target Republican states. Seems to me that China, Canada, Mexico, and the EU would try to keep the tariffs at the expense of their own economies. A little pain to defeat Trump in 2020 would keep their gravy train rolling.

Bravo to Pres. Trump for having the cajones to CALL these DEADBEATS on their failure to provide–much less PAY FOR–for their own defense! And kudos to him pointing out how they ALSO expect US to “protect” them from Russia while THEY play footsie with the Russians and do business with them. There are OTHER places besides Russia they can go to buy oil–in buying it from Russia, they are only STRENGTHENING the enemy they expect US to protect them from.

About time a US president struck some European nerves. Ever since the First and Second World Wars European nations have been riding on the doll and appeasement horse. We saved their axxes twice and yet they turn their noses up at the US. Good for T looking out for US thats what good presidents do.
